Overall very well organised, a nice balance between history and cultural experiences, just wish more of the cultural/food experiences were included in the price rather then the historical ones as we had to miss out on some of them due to the additional cost.
I am very pleased With the trip to Everest base camp. My guide Raju and the porter was very kindly. Raju told me things about the valley and mountains during the trip. When I got altitude sickness, I felt that my guide Raju and the porter concerned about me all the way back to Kathmandu. The weather was nice, and Himalaya was realy worth the trip.
I’ve travelled extensively and initially was hesitant about joining a group tour because I’ve grown accustom to individualising my own adventures. Although, I have to say my experience with Fretchie and the tour operator was 110% worth it. She is without a doubt the best tour guide I have had the pleasure of travelling with. I credit our groups unity from day 1 to Fretchie’s extensive knowledge of The Philippines, enthusiasm for inclusivity and fun and easy going nature. My experience with the operator was a balance of chill, adventure, partying and fun and wouldn’t have been what it was without all the tips and tricks Fretchie was able to provide us along the way. I loved the island hopping, snorkelling and ease of pre-arranged accomodation and transportation. Castaway was also a highlight. Such a surreal experience having the opportunity to stay at what felt like our own little island paradise and learn about the unique culture there. I continued my travels solo in The Philippines after the tour and it was with Fretchie’s help that I was able to see and do as much as I could in such a short time frame. I know I’ve made friends for life from this tour and will definitely return to The Philippines
